Love Island Twins Eve and Jess Gale Speak Out on All Stars Experience
Identical twins Eve and Jess Gale, who first entered the Love Island villa during the inaugural winter series in 2020, have opened up about their return to the All Stars version in 2024. With the spin-off currently airing on ITV2, the sisters have shared their verdict on the latest season while reflecting on their own reality TV journey.
Current Season Drama and Favourite Contestants
Speaking exclusively at the press night for Cirque du Soleil's OVO at the Royal Albert Hall, the Gale twins provided insight into the ongoing All Stars series. "I feel like All Stars is getting more dramatic now, and the line-up is really good," they revealed. "There are probably more exes this season, so it's already pretty juicy. Some of our friends are in there, like Leanne! Absolutely love her, so we're backing her."
The twins, who enjoyed their time on the show immensely, emphasised the unique friendships formed during such an intense experience. They maintain close connections with several former co-stars through WhatsApp groups and regular communication.
Why Once is Enough for the Twins
When asked whether they would consider following in the footsteps of contestants like Casey O'Gorman and Curtis Pritchard - who have entered the All Stars villa multiple times - the Gale sisters were definitive in their response. "Once is enough," they declared, ruling out any future returns to the iconic dating show.
This stance comes despite their fond memories of appearing on the programme and their continued involvement with the Love Island community. The twins described the experience as "amazing" and highlighted how it creates "lifelong friends because it's such a unique experience."
Casey O'Gorman's All Stars Journey
The conversation naturally turned to Casey O'Gorman's notable All Stars trajectory. Having first appeared on the ninth series in 2023 without finding lasting romance, he returned for the initial All Stars series in 2024 with similar results. However, his third attempt during the second All Stars series proved successful when he struck up a connection with Gabby, ultimately winning the show and its £50,000 prize.
Despite fan support, the couple announced their split just three months after leaving the villa, releasing a joint statement explaining their mutual decision to separate romantically while remaining on good terms as friends.
Life After Love Island
While Jess and Eve describe themselves as "dating but single," they continue to cherish the relationships formed during their time on the show. "Sophie Piper and Josh are probably our closest friends - we've got loads of good friends, but those two are closest," they shared, highlighting the enduring bonds created within the Love Island environment.
The twins have undergone significant transformations since their teenage years, with unearthed photographs from 2016 showing them with brunette hair and minimal makeup - a stark contrast to their current appearance. They also revealed an interesting celebrity connection, having been introduced to Kylie Jenner's ex Tyga, with Eve explaining how the rapper messaged her after they crossed paths at an event.
"We were both at an event and I posted an Instagram story tagging him," Eve recalled. "He then messaged me afterwards and we spoke on WhatsApp. Then when me and Jess were in Ibiza, he was there again. He asked me to meet him but we arrived the day he left."
